Correct answer & explanation
✓
Amazon CloudWatch Dashboards
Amazon CloudWatch Dashboards provide a centralized view of metrics from various AWS services, allowing you to create custom dashboards for monitoring and analysis. Option A is wrong because VPC Flow Logs capture IP traffic information but are not designed for aggregating metrics from multiple services. Option B is wrong because AWS CloudTrail logs API activity for auditing, not performance metrics. Option D is wrong because AWS Config tracks resource configuration changes, not metrics.
